To all 'whom `it mvented Gerwin new and useful mprv'eu'aen 'is in Apparatus for Casting and Bwing; Glass Bottles and the like, of which iba oowing is a specification.

My present invention reaftes 'to im@ L vements m machines or apparaus for casting and blowing glass bottles and :max: ob'- jects.'

I have aimed in devising *the presen nvention to provide an apparatus ef extreme simplicity and durabity and one cambi@ of being; emily adjusted or idf-pied for e production of wftles of varying sizes amd shapes, I have als@ aimd to produce a mi2,.- chne in which the. necessity in aix" armi pressors for blowing botzres Gf mnav size will be avoided, 'l-hugh it will be mi, a ed. to be supprffff with air from uv sourcesxoud die c'mmster of the woik nire.
